> He is not tame but we have safely tamed Him  
> He is not safe but we've caged Him in a church  
> The commands He gave we've turned to wishful thinking  
> and the life He lived we've iced with sugared, almond paste.

> He is not tame but we keep him at arm's distance.  
> He is not safe but we've made Him one of us.  
> The journey that he maps, is travelled by our SUV  
> and His way, diverted by leafy, suburb lanes.

> He is not tame and we just have not even noticed.  
> He is not safe so we've simply turned our heads;  
> But His call still echoes in our stabled ears  
> and His way still lies, through a country not our own.
